Guam – Hafa Adai…
Hafa Adia (Pronounced: Half A Day, Means: Hello, Language: Chamorro) from Guam! My recent business trip took me to the island of Guam. It wouldn’t have been that bad if getting there were just a bit more convenient. Our flights took us from Spokane, to Seattle to Japan’s Narita airport and then finally Guam. All total [...]
Shameless Self Promotion – A Link for a Link
I recently read an article about blog and website promotion where the author was offering tips for bloggers to help increase their traffic. One of the simplest of suggestions was to simply ask readers to link to you and you do the same for them. So the purpose of this post is to layout the [...]
American Idol and Voting…
For the past couple of seasons of American Idol I have resorted to an automatic, “intelligent” dialing program to place my votes for me. The interesting thing about DialIdol is that it “measures the busy signals” to figure out which of the idols are getting the votes. If it makes a determination that your choice(s) [...]
Blog Host Change – Apology and Retraction…
In the past month I have had two full weekends that the blog has been inaccessible due to problems at my webhost – Flexihostings.

In the “Bucket List” our lead characters, played by Nicholson as the wealthy billionaire and Freeman as a family man and mechanic, face death head on when both are diagnosed with terminal cancer. Through the course of the movie, these [...]
Josh Groban – Awake
Great song from Josh — I’m kinda on a Valentine thing. This song seems to be appropriate for that.
American Idol Season 7 Premier – Train Wreck?
Well this year started out virtually the same as all of the prior years. A stadium full of people all wanting to be the next American Idol with very few of them actually possessing the singing talent that is needed to be the next American Idol. As I watched the show I couldn’t help but [...]
WordPress 2.4 Status Updated
Lorelle is reporting on her blog – Lorelle on WordPress- that the 2.4 version of WordPress as I speculated in my previous post will be delayed and in fact the 2.4 release may be skipped entirely for the 2.5 release in March. As a new blogger using WordPress I would say that I don’t hate [...]
Pan and Tilt Camera – Installed and Operational – Review
On the Deep Lake page I have installed an Mcam 100 Motion Digital Web Camera. Created by a Korean company, this camera features 180 degree Pan and 100 degree tilt controlled remotely via the Internet. It really allows me to enjoy my lake view when I am away traveling for business or when I’m at our other [...]
